BMW launch.
Gallery here.

Looks a step up from the F1.06, but still dosen't look as aggressive as the F2007 or MP4-22.

Satorian has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Looks pretty simple and sleek. I assume all the computational power of their new CFD rig has been put to use.

As much hope as I have for the new car, being a closely integrated all-BMW solution, I'm really looking forward to see Kubica put it through its paces and hope that Vettel will get the opportunity to race this season. I think he has lots of potential that has not been tapped yet and as soon as Heidfeld misses his first race, I expect Vettel to stun everyone.

Dear me, the drivers could have at least got a haircut before the launch??

BMW board must be a bit peeved at those shots being released!!

The car, as with the others luanched so far doesn't look radically different to last years does it? Most teams seem to be going with developing themes they already had.

Looks like a tidy car to me, not as radical as the Ferrari and McLaren no but BMW know what they are doing and I think they could be strong once again this year.

Strongly agree Saleen, BMW know what they're doing on so many levels. We'll see how she goes on the track.

Even though it's hasn't actually been launched yet,the Renault looks by far the most impressive 'together' design by far.The BMW looks plain dull in comparison.

Nice piccie of Renault this morning.http://www.f1racing.net/en/photolarg...067&catID=2157

Heidfeld looks like a 'mini-me' version of Chuck Norris.
I know it's totally superfiscial, but I wish one of these teams would try something new livery wise.

The BMW Sauber once again looks good. The Renault in testing looks very nice, basic and slick.

I'm liking the 2007 grid out of all of the cars thus far.

It looks very "conventional", Ferrari, McLaren even Toyota have all done something to their front or rear wings that looks new or revolutionary...this one looks more evolutionary.

The car looks very conservative and the livery is soooo bland. But then again, it is a Swiss-German Team...


Nick is clearly trying to emulate Harald Ertl. Feh.
